-- The runtime an authored game is compiled against (FORGE.md).
--
-- A game made with Forge is not interpreted:  Forge/AuthorCompile.singe turns its description into
-- ordinary Lua, and this file is the library that Lua calls.  Rules become real functions, so
-- nothing walks a table every frame, and the result can be opened in ZeroBrane and edited by hand
-- like any other game.
--
-- The nouns (FORGE.md section 3):
--
--   layers      which of the engine's own layers the game uses.  A genre is only a choice of layers.
--   kinds       what a thing is:  a look, behaviours, and vars.  Everything placed or spawned is
--               an instance of a kind.
--   rooms       where things are.  A room keeps its state when it is left unless it says reset.
--   rules       a trigger, conditions, and actions.  Actions that take time run as a coroutine.
--
-- AUTHOR is also the manifest the compiler and the editor read:  every layer, look, behaviour,
-- condition, action, and event declares its parameters and the Lua it emits, so a new kind of
-- game is a set of entries here rather than a new release of anything.
--
-- The manifest's emit functions receive their parameters already as Lua source fragments -- the
-- compiler has turned a number into a number, an expression into Lua, an entity name into a lookup
-- -- so an entry only concatenates.  The parameter types (FORGE.md section 3):
--
--   number      a number, or an expression that makes one
--   expression  any expression
--   string      text, quoted
--   boolean     true or false
--   entity      "self", "other", or an entity id
--   kind        a kind's name
--   scancode    a key, from SCANCODE
--   switch      a switch, from SWITCH_*
--   file        a file name
--   state       a state name
--   track       a track's name
--   room        a room's name
--   lua         Lua, as written
